-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey all -- I've been off modems for a while now, last time I actually had to rely on a modem for a connection I was using FreeBSD, so I'm a bit out of touch. Here's the situation: NEC Versa notebook running SuSE 6.4 Windows 95 running in vmware Ricochet modem When I use yast to configure wvdial to use the ricochet, it tells me that it detects 33600, but it chomps it down to 19200 "just to be safe". I can live with that - primarily I want this modem connection for when I'm away from home & work but need access to fix something in an emergency. 19200 is plenty for a terminal - or should be. When I connect I am able to ping anything I want and set my system time using ntpdate. Oh - and I can get very small text web pages with lynx. I cannot, however telnet or ssh anywhere. Quite frustrating, indeed. Last night, in a fit of desparation I started up VMWare and Win95. I was able to configure a dial-up connection and connect with the same modem at 38400 (I'm pretty sure that's the normal max speed for this modem), and do all of the normal happy stuff I need to (telnet, web surf, ssh, download etc.). Knowing, then, that the modem could do 38400, I change wvdial.conf to match. It connects, but I still can't get anything but pings (and ntp) back through the connection. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks! - -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Timothy A.
